[PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: Preliminary calculations, please check me

Thanks Paul and Myles,

30 to 45% is quite a bit, I am still working the numbers to see if this is doable.

Yes, using 63 lb/cf of seawater gives about 16cf needed to weigh 1000lb.

I think a WWII style boat which was more on the surface than submerged
would have 30% or more reserve buoyancy.  Like Myles says.

Joe,
 
   My design calls for about 45%.  I
want to get that thing out of the water when surface running.  Also, I
figure a guy needs all the bouyancy he can get when launching the thing so that
you don't need 6' of water.  I'm going for the "better to have too much
than not enough" concept.  Hopefully I'm not overlooking
something.
 
Myles.
